My soul has been so devastated since Baby left. That pain that is so deep doesn’t go away, but we have to be strong
It has been half a year since the death of Izeta Beba Selimovic, one of the greatest interpreters of sevdah and one of the greatest singers in this area.
Beba Selimovic started her singing career at Radio Sarajevo, soon became popular, and proudly bore the nickname “Lady of Sevdah” because of her dignity, pride, and exceptional femininity. Bh. the music scene has lost a lot with the departure of the legendary Baby, but her family, friends, and colleagues will never let oblivion take away the memory of her.
Beba’s husband, Dzevad Sabanagic , spoke for “Megalopreneur” in deep grief.
– It has been half a year since my wife Beba Selimovic moved and this is an extremely difficult day for me because of all those memories … Because it was so sudden without any symptoms. My current feeling is the same as if someone took my Baby from my house and I will never see her again – said Sabanagic.
According to her husband, Beba was first and foremost a noble person, and only then a great singer and artist.
– The baby was really a noble person, a noblewoman. Of course, I couldn’t just look at her as a singer, it’s something that was secondary to me in terms of what kind of person, mother, wife, housewife she was … I will never forget how much Beba was loved by friends and that makes me joyful – Sabanagic recalls.

Dzevad does not hide his grief, but the memory of Beba makes him alive and today he proudly remembers the wonderful 25 years they spent together.
– I will carry it in my heart for the rest of my life, that’s for sure. My soul has been so devastated since Baby left. That pain that is so deep doesn’t go away, but we have to be strong. There is nothing I can do about it, I can only love her for the rest of my life and no one can forbid me to do that. Those everyday memories through 25 years of living together where we were like flesh and nail beautify my gloomy everyday life today. I still see her around the house roaring me: take this, add that … It’s just as if she lives there with me, and she actually lives, only in my soul – said Dževad Šabanagić.
